Home Office security guidance

The Home Office is the UK government department responsible for policing, crime prevention, counter terrorism and security. It publishes guidance that shapes how security systems such as CCTV should be used, including the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice issued under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012.

The code sets out principles for using CCTV effectively, proportionately and responsibly. We can talk you through how it applies to your system.
